Hi Don, I tried running the scripted install listed on the main readme page. But it doesn't seem to work when running "free -m". Is this because Raspberry Pi OS is now on Bullseye? I was hoping this would help out the new Zero 2 I just got in the mail, but now I am just more confused. Thank you for all that you do!

Yeah, this doesn't appear to work at all under Bullseye, I am not sure what is failing since I can't see anything in Terminal that would be obvious for a novice like me :(

What happens when you run the script directly...
sudo /usr/bin/zram.sh then free -m ?

PS:
Is there a particular reason you aren't using Debian's built in ZRAM handler?

Yes, Don said in his Zero 2W release video that we should use this... so here I am scratching my head.

I'm in the same boat, thinking the issues are iTerm2. I'm getting hangs, dropped connections, odd behaviour. I too wanted compressed RAM for my Zero 2.

Update: I think my unit is messed up. Problems hanging, dropping connections, etc. iTerm2 and Terminal both see the same sketchy behaviour.

My Raspberry Pi Zero 2 W unit was sketchy. It was replaced, and this one is solid.
